The parent PT 6129 showed higher total carotenoids ( µg/g) and β carotene content ( µg/g) than the other parent and it is having yellow grain colour, while, the parent PT 6029 recorded grey colour grain with low β carotene content ( µg/g) which indicated that yellow colour contributed to β carotene content. The progenies, TNBG-06-53-1-4-7 recorded high total carotenoids ( µg/g) and β carotene ( µg/g) followed by TNBG-06-81-10-9-9, TNBG-06-127-3-3-1, TNBG-06-81-4-8-6 and TNBG06-3-3-6-1. Hence, these progenies provide a valuable basis for increasing β carotene through conventional breeding. |
